Sugar Plum Punch Recipe

Sugar Plum Punch
Looking for a festive holiday cocktail? How about this Nutcracker-inspired Sugar Plum Fairy Punch! Created by the fine folks at Lounge ON20, this cocktail is an ode to the tart and sweet tastes of the season. It blends cranberry juice with homemade plum rosemary syrup. Top with beautifully sugar-coated black grapes, and you have a cheerful holiday drink.

This punch celebrates the upcoming Nutcracker performance from Pamela Hayes Classical Ballet studio. Lounge ON20 owner Ali Mackani will be dancing in the delightful holiday classic, so his restaurant stirred up this beverage in a nod to the show. If you're interested in seeing The Nutcracker this year, order your tickets soon. The ballet only runs for one weekend: December 17-19!

Good St. Nick in a sled, this looks absolutely divine. Will be throwing this together the minute I get away from "dry" land. Thanks for sharing, Amber!
